- Bolt.Earth and Simple Energy are expanding DC fast-charging access for electric two-wheelers across India.
- The collaboration strengthens EV charging infrastructure and interoperability to accelerate electric mobility adoption.
Bolt.Earth and Simple Energy have partnered to expand DC fast-charging access for electric two-wheelers across India. The collaboration leverages Bolt.Earth’s existing network of Blaze DC Type-6 chargers, already deployed in more than 100 cities. By enhancing DC fast-charging availability, both companies aim to improve convenience, reduce range anxiety, and strengthen the country’s EV charging infrastructure. As electric two-wheelers dominate vehicle sales volumes in India, scalable DC fast-charging solutions are emerging as a critical enabler of mainstream electric mobility adoption.
Expanding DC Fast-Charging Network Across India
The partnership enables Simple Energy riders to access Bolt.Earth’s Blaze DC Type-6 chargers, available in 3kW and 6kW variants. These chargers follow the LEVDC standard and are designed to support efficient DC fast-charging for lightweight electric vehicles. Currently, Bolt.Earth operates over 270 Blaze DC chargers across more than 100 cities, all accessible via its EV Charging App. This expansion of DC fast-charging strengthens nationwide EV charging infrastructure and enhances accessibility for electric two-wheelers.
Vehicle Compatibility and Software Integration
All Simple Energy Gen 2 vehicles are already compatible with the Blaze DC Type-6 chargers, ensuring seamless DC fast-charging capability. Compatibility for Gen 1 vehicles is expected through an upcoming software update, allowing a broader rider base to benefit from the enhanced charging network. In addition, integration of Bolt.Earth charger discovery within the Simple Connect App is under development, which will provide a unified digital experience and streamline DC fast-charging access.
Industry Perspective on DC Fast-Charging Growth
Commenting on the collaboration, S. Raghav Bharadwaj, CEO & Founder, Bolt.Earth said, "At Bolt.Earth, we strive to make EV charging accessible, reliable, and future-ready. Partnering with Simple Energy allows us to extend these benefits to a wider rider base and strengthen India's EV ecosystem. Fast charging is critical to mainstream EV adoption, and this collaboration is a step closer to making that a reality. Giving riders the convenience and confidence on every journey." His statement highlights the strategic importance of DC fast-charging in accelerating electric mobility.
Strengthening India’s EV Charging Infrastructure
Bolt.Earth describes itself as India’s largest vertically integrated peer-to-peer EV charging network, with over 1,00,000 chargers deployed across 1,900+ cities. Founded in 2017, the company supports two-, three-, and four-wheelers across standard and DC fast-charging formats. This collaboration reflects a broader industry shift toward interoperability, improved charging access, and scalable EV charging infrastructure. With electric two-wheelers accounting for a significant share of vehicle sales in India, reliable DC fast-charging is becoming essential to support long-term electrification goals and reduce dependence on conventional fuels.
